Cultural diversity refers to the existence of multiple cultures or cultural differences within a society. It is diminished by monoculture or homogenization of cultures. Hawaii provides an example where its indigenous Hawaiian culture was once diverse but became largely replaced by Western culture after European conquest. While globalization can negatively impact world cultural diversity by spreading one dominant culture, cultural diversity is valued by many as different cultures respecting each other's differences.

1. Cultural diversity
Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures, as opposed to monoculture, as in the
global monoculture, or a homogenization of cultures, akin to cultural decay. For example, before Hawaii
was conquered by Europeans, the culturally diverse Hawaiian culture existed in the world, and
contributed to the world's cultural diversity. Now Hawaii has been westernized; the vast majority of its
culture has been replaced with Western or American culture. The phrase cultural diversity can also refer
to having different cultures respect each other's differences.[citation needed] The phrase cultural diversity is
sometime misused to mean the variety of human societies or cultures in a specific region, or in the
world as a whole; but these phenomenon are multiculturalism rather than cultural diversity. The
culturally destructive action of globalization is often said to have a negative effect on the world's cultural
diversity.
